SATURDAY, JUNE 18TH, 1PM – 5PM
This workshop is perfect for artists, developers, educators or anyone interested in experimenting with the Raspberry Pi.
Learn how to setup and turn your Raspberry Pi into a standalone machine for installations from the ground up. Starting from a fresh Pi we’ll be learning how to install various flavors of linux, access basic networking and video playback. We’ll also dive into writing our first programs to wire LED’s, buttons and motors. Everything you need to know to get the Pi set up and running your own projects!
Some more things we’ll cover:
- The Pi is a cheaper alternative to a full computer setup; especially used in groups or in a network. How do we use one in an install?
- Learn about Raspberry Pi networking basics and getting it talking to the internet.
- Get down with some Linux to transfer files, run apps and navigate around the filesystem.
- Learn how to optimize and run your already existing sketches, apps or video files on the Pi.
We will also discuss uses for some Raspberry Pi accessories; such as WiFi, cases, camera modules and sensor hookups. Pairing with your Phone or iPad and general installation debugging.

Please bring your desired Raspberry Pi components, cables and accessories… we’ll try to share if we can. If you have any ideas for something you’d like to build bring them too!

TUESDAY, JUNE 28TH, 6:30PM – 9:30PM
This workshop will be an introduction to Unity3d (a 3d game engine) for artists. Participants will learn the basics of creating digital spaces that can be exported as standalone apps, VR experiences, web experiences, etc. There will be an emphasis on creating handmade/handdrawn textures that will be scanned and used to wrap 3d models and terrains.
A portion of the class will focus on presenting students with techniques to get up and running, starting with the Unity3d interface and touching on some light scripting.
Participants will finish the workshop having made an interactive 3d world made of hand drawn textures. This will be an excellent way to bring non-digital art into digital space, as well as an introduction to a powerful tool for artists with technology backgrounds.
WHAT TO BRING
- Laptop running Unity 5
- 3 button mouse (recommended)
- Smartphone (to scan paper drawings to be brought into Unity)
- Art supplies for creating textures (pens, crayons, pastels, etc)
